The base package, known as Variant 1, generates 220 hp from a 2.2-liter engine and comes with a 5-speed manual and all-wheel drive. Even this base package comes with items like a Kevlar body kit and roll cage.<\/p>\n<p>Stepping up to the Variant 2 package is where performance starts to match the original Sport Quattro. With this package, there&#8217;s 350 hp and the option to increase this to 450 hp by adding a 2.5-liter engine. A standard carbon-fiber body kit helps get the curb weight down to around 2,200 pounds, and custom KW suspension in combination with a Brembo brake package means the car should handle like a demon on the track.<\/p>\n<p>Performance escalates wildly from there. Buyers can choose an engine that delivers 750 hp, or enough oomph for 0-60 mph acceleration in close to three seconds.
